just like a dove on fire correct flight isn't possible in weather i wasn't built for i try to hear you sigh as soon as it's barely audible i left a rag on the window sill so you can bleed your knives dry in spending so much time the degradation material i never found it so beautiful just like a dog on fire the rind and bark rotting visceral i saw myself on the carousel and you can bleed your knives dry
2.
everyone talking in circles don't know what they're saying everyone barks at the sky till the band starts playing hey man turn the fucking music down it got so loud that i could barely hear myself hey man turn the fucking music down so everyone can hear the faint and ugly sounds everyone standing around like a circle of flame i often wonder how long it can keep them in place hey man turn the fucking music down it got so loud i'd sworn i'd died and gone to hell hey man turn the fucking music down so everyone can hear the noise that's all around

getting high every morning just to live with myself don't you know what i'm saying eat the food of the gods and find a soul that's pure and golden you know i live for stormy weather getting lost in the evening don't you know where i'm from shit might get pretty ugly eat the food of the gods and walk a path that's pure and golden you know i live for simple pleasure
4.
and through the demons of circumstance and what a shame it is to laugh at what a game it is we play with idle hands demons of circumstance the song evokes a dance the children of the pastor frown their feet all pointed in and through the demons of circumstance i don't know how to dance but if i could i'd show you how and take your broken hand demons of circumstance the heart's a holy gland that wasn't meant for apertures or making them for man cut down the figurine one man an effigy two animals a kingdom and through the demons of circumstance such a shame to feel anything at all
5.
it's a sign of the shape that we're in when the clouds seem so above us i turned on a lamp in a room where your hand had felt like velvet i was smoking outside and looking off at your eyes and how they wandered cause it's dark without light so the sight of the night you must've pondered it's a sign of the times when you sigh as you pass into each other darling don't take away from me far as the eye can see morningoodnightdaydream surely i'll make my life complete work out a masterpiece show you just what i mean it's a sign of the times and your head is just fine upon your shoulders this perception of mine will be a memory in time once that i'm older i look to my left and i grin and i laugh now that we're colder cause it's a sign of the shape that you're in when your heart can't push you forward
6.
i wish they gave us words when there's nothing else to say i know you weren't ready for this occasion the time we spent together was the time you spent away i know you're not prepared to put your best suit on "don't smile, don't smile" i said with some degree of harsh sympathy and lowered my own to see your face, naked and cloaked in jets that streamed and screamed until i could not tell your face from water's shape, its grace, its natural state and why are you crying i'll take you to a place i think where you belong
7.
Water 02:01
8.
all these animals of mine need animals too all these animals alive remind me of you all these animals need water warm enough to guide their i don't understand instinctual love to watch the zoo all these animals i tend to kind of exude animal intentions thoughts desires and moods all these animals need water warm enough to rouse their everlasting hearts hysterical love to watch the zoo
9.
little world understanding itself i will keep you alive yeah hungry little worm drinks itself to death hour after hour after minute and after all it's just a numbers game facts game it is what it is little boy looking out through himself your heart is surrounded by angry bitter men working themselves to death hour after hour after minute and after all it's just a numbers game facts game it is what it is
10.
old king cole of the willows i've seen your face, i know the games you play sweet songs on the fiddle and we'd all dance and smile like there's no reason to cry like nothing ever happened to make that face so blue on such a sunny day if i could be a fiddle player too i'd gently approach old king cole of the willows and ask him please, how do you make your art so fucking coherent when you're playing with a broken heart like the stars are falling apart like nothing's gonna happen to make the world slow down what's the point in singing songs if you want to hear the ones to make you smile i'd ask you all to go and walk through the willows and ask for old king cole
11.
Water Pt. 2 07:26
i have reason to believe it doesn't only rain rain because it's cold now i understand words said in a dream i was only five distant memory i would help you if i could open up your heart there's a reason why water doesn't taste like anything but it feels so good just the way it should all these animals of mine need animals mother daughter father son
